I took the opportunity yesterday to walk down to Brentford High Street.\u00a0 I am more used to driving around here, but the bright spring sunshine and the need to get a phone fixed took me along roads on foot this time.<\/p>\n

Bretford High Street is in the process of renovation and you can see quite a change.\u00a0\u00a0 The old\u00a0magistrates court\u00a0has been converted into a restaurant (called Verdict)\u00a0with a delightful little square in front.\u00a0 Futher along the redevloped Brentford Dock is a very up market place to live and of course to take photographs.<\/p>\n
